1
In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and vanilla, beating with a handheld electric mixer until smooth. Add strawberry jam and mix until well incorporated. Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries (or blueberries) and lemon zest using a spatula.
💡 The cream cheese was soft, so it didn't take long to smooth out.
2
Transfer the strawberry cheesecake filling to a piping bag or ziplock bag and set aside.
💡 The less is more here; you can add as much or as little as you want.
3
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
💡 If you don't have half and half, you can use cream or milk.
4
Using a knife, make a deep cut in the center of each thick slice of bread to create a pocket. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the center of each slice.
